DENVER, Colorado – Jamaica held Mexico to a 0-0 result in their top-of-the-table Group C clash here inside Sports Authority Field Thursday night. The regional kingpins had the better of play but the Jamaicans proved resolute in defence even while creating counter attacks, which were let down by inefficient passing in the middle to the final third.
The result left Theodore Whitmore's Reggae Boyz and Mexico on four points, after two games, one point ahead of El Salvador, who defeated Curaçao 2-0 in the day's opening game. Gerson Mayen in the 21st minute and Rodolfo Zelaya, three minutes later, were the scorers for El Salvador. It was the second time Whitmore's national senior team got a 0-0 result against the Mexicans at high altitude, having done so in a World Cup qualifier inside the Azteca Stadium in February 2012. The Boyz were to depart Denver for San Antonio, where they oppose El Salvador on Sunday. The winners and runners-up from each of the three groups, plus the two best third-placed teams advance to the quarter-finals.
